AG : Even if the call only refers to one specific suit, there might be a 
problem.

The unobstructed sequence would be, with some of my former partners : 1C 
(strong) - 1D (weak) - 1S (4+ cards) - 2C (exactly 3 spades, at least a 
little something, and passable with longer clubs than spades). Now they 
tell me RHO has bid 2D over 1S. I'd like to bid 2S, but partner might 
think -wrongly- that I hold 4 of them. A TO double isn't a good idea 
with only 2 hearts and a non-maximum.
But the new rules tell me I'm allowed to bid 2S without penalty 
(referring only to spades, too) and partner will be remembered I could 
do it on a 3-card in a pinch.
This looks like L23 craning its neck once again, never a good idea.

Best regards
